[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I hope you support paid family leave and universal affordable childcare, and candidates that push for those policies.[/b] [/quote] I do, but in the past, everyone started having kids in their early 20's and none of these things existed. [/quote] In the past childcare was performed by unpaid or underpaid labor by the permanent underclass: women. If we want a society where women can have professional and financial equality, then we either leave childcare to the free market (our current approach and childcare costs are skyrocketing as wages now have to compete with other industries), or we subsidize childcare to encourage people to sustain population levels.
